Truvativ stem too "thin"

Bought a Truvativ team stem such as this:
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=9098
as wanted a 90mm (previously had 100mm stem) and this was recommended in WMB because it is very light and great value.
However, the stearer clamp tube is thin walled (around 1mm) and so looks odd with normal spacers which have a wall of around 2.5mm.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

change spacers."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks Nick but perhaps I should have been more specific:
Does anybody know of any thin-walled (or taper-walled 2.5mm to 1mm) sacers?

Nearly the cost of your stem and looks like it 'll do the job. Only available in 25mm or 35mm.
Question is , is it worth the expense. I doubt it0
